Keanu Reeves Responds To Fan Support That He Should Play DOCTOR STRANGE

Since Joaquin Phoenix departed Scott Derrickson's Doctor Strange, Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) has become a fan-favourite choice to play the Sorcerer Supreme. Here, the actors responds to that support and reveals whether or not he would be interested in joining the Marvel movie...

In the above interview with Collider, Keanu Reeves (who is currently promoting the very well-received John Wick) talks in detail about his thoughts on comic book movies in general and whether or not he would be interested in taking on the role of Doctor Strange in the upcoming movie from Marvel Studios and director Scott Derrickson. "From a practical standpoint the idea of a longtime contract is sort of “errr” because you want to make sure the material is up to a certain level. Like the good or great level. I like the idea. I go to those kinds of movies. I grew up on them and comics and graphic novels. [But] I didn’t know Doctor Strange as a character, I didn’t read that as a kid. I’m gonna have to read it. I remember reading something… who’s going to play Doctor Strange? Would I be good for the role?" That's the general gist of his comments, but the video itself is well worh watching for more. Since Joaquin Phoenix dropped out during negotiations, we've heard nothing concrete in regards to who will play the character. Thoughts on Keanu Reeves?
